Classroom  Management is the activity of organizing the students, the classroom area and tools in order to provide the students with the terminal behaviour. The requirements regarding the recognition, the realization and the appreciation in the classroom or at school shall be met. Students have the tendancy to experience unwanted behaviour as  avengement, nervosity, aggressivity, power search-power assertion if these requirements of the students aren’t met. Every behaviour that blocks pedagogical efforts  is perceived  as “an unwanted behaviour ”. Unwanted behaviours affect the lesson and the whole class negatively and  stop us from achieving our goals. The effort, time and money spent for the educational purpose  will go  for nothing ultimately.These unwanted behaviours may arise from the class structure, the teacher or from the students. One of the reasons arising from the student is that of a biological reason.  These are mentioned as brain damage, disease, malnutrition due to biochemicals and they have affect on unwanted behaivours. One of the unwanted behaviours is the hyperactive attitudes of  the hyperactive children. Disease, nutrition, nerval, neurological condition, temper, genetic disorders, physical diabilities, variables like medication inclines to hyperactivity with  some kids. The teachers who don’t know how to react  to hyperactive behaviours will not be able to estimate the incidents that may happen in the future Thus unwanted incidents may be experienced. In this study Reşat Nuri Güntekin’s novel Ò‚alõkuşu” has been reviewed on recognition of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)  by applying the bibliotherapy method.   The heroine of the novel Feride was detected to have The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Hyperactive-Impulsive Type according to DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) diagnostic criteria. The educational administrators and  the candidate teachers can be informed  about the disease of the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by reviewing  the ‚alõkuşu novel, applying the  bibliotherapy method. Thus most of the unwanted behaviours, that may arise, can be prevented.
